Tigers swat Jackets in series opener behind big efforts from Anglin and Blackwell

CLEMSON – Mack Anglin pitched seven strong innings and scored three runs while driving in two to lead Clemson to a 9-3 victory over No. 21 Georgia Tech in the first game of a crucial three-game series Friday evening at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.

Anglin was terrific in picking up the win. He didn’t allow a run through six innings before giving up three in the seventh. He threw 116 pitches (70 for strikes), gave up three runs on five hits, walked just one and struck out eight.

Blackwell was 2-for-4, Bryar Hawkins was 3-for-4 with two RBIs and freshman Will Taylor, in his first action this season (suffered a torn ACL as a wide receiver during football season), was 1-for-4 with a run scored.
